Package: nvidia-settings-tesla
Version: 525.147.05-1
Severity: serious
Tags: trixie
Justification: unsatisfiable dependency in trixie soon

Hi,

we earlier agreed that nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla should not be
included with trixie. Unfortunately, nvidia-settings-tesla has a
dependency on nvidia-tesla-alternative which is built from
nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla and therefore to be removed. As a result,
we cannot include nvidia-settings-tesla in trixie as is. One of three
things needs to happen:
 * nvidia-settings-tesla should also be removed from trixie.
 * nvidia-settings-tesla needs to update its dependency.
 * The decision to not include nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla needs to be
   reverted.

I'm not sure what the desired solution should be, but something needs to
be done here and this bug documents the need for action.

Helmut
